Ness County News, 22 March 1930 Ransom D. Likes was born June 16, 1848 at Barry, Illinois and passed away at his home in Ransom, March 9, 1930, at the age of 81 years, 8 months, and 23 days. He grew to manhood at Barry, Illinois where at an early age he became a member of the Church of Christ, remaining a member the rest of his life. At the age of 24 he was united in marriage with Mary A. Rickart on September 11, 1872, at Quincy, IL. Nine children were born to them: Mrs. Nora Zordel, Mrs. Belle Randall and Mrs. Maude Green all of Ransom; Mrs. Nellie Esch of Hoisington, KS; John L. Likes, Samuel G. Likes and William Likes, all of Brownell; Mrs. Myrta Craig and Mrs. Eliza Munday passed away before him. Mr. Likes was one of the early settlers of Kansas, moving from Illinois to Kansas in 1872. He settled in Osage county where he lived two years, struggling with the hardships of pioneer life. Then he returned to his native state, remaining ten years, when he again heeded the western urge and cast his lot once more in Kansas, stopping in Barton county, where he stayed for just a few years. He then moved to Ness county, where he built a home (sod house) out on the wild plains and where he resided with his entire family ever since. Mr. Likes and his faithful companion, who survives, with all pioneers of these western plains, toiled hard and endured many hardships to make this land a happy and prosperous place in which to live. But he, with many of his early day neighbors, has heard the toll of the bell on the borderland between the living and the dead, and has crossed the bar, leaving his widow and seven children, 48 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren, one brother, L. Finley Likes of Great Bend, KS; besides numerous other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his departure. Funeral services were held in the Methodist Church in Ransom, Wed afternoon, conducted by Rev. J.M. Briggs, and the body tenderly laid to rest in the Ransom cemetery. Dear father, could you come back once more, Back from the silent and distant shore, Back from the gates beyond the blue, Back to the ones who mourn for you; Father, some day we hope to meet you, When our days on earth are o’er, On that beautiful isle of somewhere, Where sorrow is no more. Finley Likes of Great Bend came Friday of last week to be at the bedside of his brother, Ransom D. Likes. Among those who came from a distance to attend the funeral of Ransom D. Likes Wednesday of last week: The Barney Esch family of Hoisington, KS; Frank Esch of Osborne, KS; Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan Cavett of Hoisington, KS; Percy Likes of Hutchinson, KS; Ray Likes; Mr. and Mrs. Gale Likes and two daughters of Garden City, KS; and Mrs. Etta Garver of Great Bend.
